Users can receive instant notifications
outside of MyFIRE
regarding their courses sent through
email. This tutorial demonstrates how to
enable and manage instant notifications
from MyFIRE.
1. Once
you are logged into MyFIRE, select the
profile in the top right corner.
2. A
drop-down menu will appear. Select
Notifications.
3. Select
how often you would like to receive a
summary of activity for your courses by
selecting the frequency drop-down menu.
The options include never, daily, or
weekly.
a. If
selected daily, determine what time you
would
like to receive the email notifications by
selecting the time drop-down menu. Note:
The time is listed in Eastern Standard
Time.
b. If
selected weekly, determine what day and
time
you would like to receive the email
notifications by selecting the time and
day
drop-down menus.
4. Choose
whether you want to receive notifications
by email or mobile by checking the
appropriate checkbox.
a. Note:
If choosing to receive notifications for
discussions, you must also subscribe to
forums, topics, and threads.
Note: Learners receive a notification in
MyFIRE and in the
Pulse app under the following conditions
for assignments & quizzes:
If the assignment or quiz has a due date,
the learner is
notified two days before the due
date.
If the assignment or quiz has no due date,
but has an end
date, the learner is notified two days
before the end date.
Learners do not receive a notification in
MyFIRE and Pulse
app under the following conditions:
Learner completed the assignment by
submitting to the
assignment folder.
Learner completed the quiz according to the
defined
completion criteria (attempt submitted or
score threshold achieved).
The assignment or quiz has no dates
attached.
The assignment or quiz includes only a
start date.
5. Turn
on custom notifications to allow future
courses to send you notifications by
selecting the corresponding checkbox.
Note:
The custom notification of including your
grade value when a professor has
provided a grade is already turned on by
default. We recommend keeping this
setting enabled.
6. If
desired, you can exclude receiving
notifications from certain courses by
selecting manage my course
exclusions.
a. If
choosing to exclude a course from the
notifications, a pop-up window will
appear. Scroll down the pop-up window
utilizing the scroll bar, to locate the
course that you do not want to receive
notifications about.
b. Once
the course has been located, select the
‘X’
icon to the right of the course title to
remove the course from the
notifications list. Note: Keep
“Southeastern University” and “Student
Portal”
enrolled with receiving notifications. If
you remove Southeastern University or
Student Portal from your notifications
list, you could miss out on very
important announcements about the MyFIRE
system and features. Do not remove SEU
or Student Portal from the notifications
course list.
c. Once
finished excluding courses, select close
at
the bottom of the pop-up window.
